- Who are you?
- I have been surprised by the 21st century. I hadn't expected such dramatic and promising change and I am looking forward to workplaces that are a lot more to do with work, and a lot less to do with posturing and power stunts.
I am hoping that we will see the end, or a least a sharp decrease, in the use of 'us' and 'them' models where some of us try to manipulate and engage others 'employees' on behalf of interests whom we we are too embarrassed to name out loud.
I believe we have an opportunity to enter an era of genuine cooperation when we believe that organizations emerge out of shared interests of everybody who works there, the people we serve, and the people who fund us in return for conventional interest or dividends.
We have the skills to make and shape these organizations but have been politically reluctant to use them. To extend the words of game designer, Jane McGonigal, if we can make massive role play games that are compelling and engaging, why not work that is equally life-giving, refreshing and just plain inviting?

Thanks a lot for your help !
I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
Not sure if this is the same as the one mentioned but Gallup has 12 Questions that they use.

Hi Maggie,
Acually we have a training module for this exact circumstance. We call it cynics, victims and bystanders it is part of The Conversations Workshop. We wrote a book last year called Authentic Conversations which has a great deal to say ab...
Hi Maggie,
Most 360 software is more expensive then that- at least if you want 360 software that is super easy to set up and comes with preloaded questions and is designed for 360 surveys. (see halogen, sumtotal, etc...)
If you've got your own que...
Beautiful video that makes you think about all the 'moments' in your life.
When you think about it, engagement is all about moments too...when someone takes that brief moment to get to know you, to do something nice for you, etc....in the end- all...
Hi,
I sense the key is to offer choice - that is to request the cynics create their own route to engagement in a self directed means.
Your role would be to offer the rich inspiration and supportive help needed for them to accomplish this.
You m...

This seems terrible but I'm responding to your invite to join a UK group for EE which you sent last August! Believe it or not, I've not been able to access the site until this week following a ban on all social networking sites. I managed to get this site reinstated but it seems to have been fairly low priority (amid much arguing as to what constitutes a social netowrking site and even if, from an engagament point of view, we shoudl have banned avccess to them in the first place!).
Anyway, with my excuses over and done with - yes, I would ove to join a UK group.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Mark
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Would certainly be interested in exploring ways to increase revenue. I am full of big ideas but at present have no revenue myself!! (Funny, but people seem to be more interested in taking my money than sending any my way!)
I don't know whether you have checked out my profile or website, but you will see that my whole propistion to solve the EE issue revolves around formalising the statement that "our people are our greatest asset" and valuing people and thereby chaging the management mindset to managing them as assets rather than just an expense. However, I require a "proof of concept client before I can take it to the next level!

Didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I saw from a comment that you had made to Ian Buckingham in August that you has set up a UK network. Could you tell me more about it and whether I would be eligible to join?
Thanks
Bay
Missed your invitation for whatever reason.
Would certainly like to join the UK group.
Hans
I would love to join
Thanks
